Hey guys, I am looking into selling my Legend (just to get a better sized one) and I have some interest in Europe. Anybody know what the approximate cost from Boston to Germany might be? Insured but not in a huge rush.

Thanks,

Zach

It will probably around $80 with insurance by airmail. I believe that for most countries in Europe, however, the USPS size limit for girth plus height is 108", which is significantly smaller than a bike box. A frame box should probably do the trick, but make sure before agree to ship. FedEx and UPS are also options, but quite expensive since it's express service. I'm sure DHL would also ship, but I'm not sure about their rates. For FedEx, figure on paying the 50 pound price for a frame due to the box likely being OS2 (oversized).
